Computational techniques have already enabled unprecedented advances in
modern
biology and medicine. This continues to be a vibrant research area with
broadening of
computational techniques and new emerging challenges. The Bioinformatics
and
Computational Biology (BICoB) conference was established by the ISCA to
promote
the advancement of computing techniques and their application to life
sciences. T
he BICoB conference will feature original unpublished research in all
areas of
bio-informatics and computational biology, and covering the entire
spectrum of
underlying computational techniques/models/paradigms. The topics of
interest include
(and are not limited to):
* Genome analysis: Genome assembly, genome and chromosome
annotation,
gene finding, alternative splicing, EST analysis and comparative
genomics.
* Sequence analysis: Multiple sequence alignment, sequence search
and clustering,
function prediction, motif discovery, functional site recognition
in protein, RNA and
DNA sequences.
* Phylogenetics: Phylogeny estimation, models of evolution,
comparative biological
methods, population genetics.
* Structural Bioinformatics: Structure matching, prediction,
analysis and comparison;
methods and tools for docking; protein design
* Analysis of high-throughput biological data: Microarrays
(nucleic acid, protein,
array CGH, genome tiling, and other arrays), EST, SAGE, MPSS,
proteomics, mass
spectrometry.
* Genetics and population analysis: Linkage analysis, association
analysis, population
simulation, haplotyping, marker discovery, genotype calling.
* Systems biology: Systems approaches to molecular biology,
multiscale modeling,
pathways,gene networks.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
BICoB welcomes submissions in all areas of computing with impact on life
sciences
including (but not limited to) algorithms, databases, languages,
systems, and high
performance computing. For example:
- Parallel and high-performance techniques
- Unifying computational techniques
- Data and image mining techniques
- Approximation and randomized algorithms and systems
- Computational biology on emerging architectures and hardware
accelerators
Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission (PDF only). A full
paper, including
title, author's name(s) and affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax
and email of the
principal author, should be submitted by November 23, 2009 at the
following web site:
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/BICOB2010/
The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it
will appear in
the Proceedings which will be a maximum of 6 pages (+2 pages with
additional page
charge). ISCA double-column format will be used.
See http://www.isca-hq.org/sample-isca-manuscript-format.pdf .
Latex users: http://www.isca-hq.org/Latex-format.htm
If you encounter any difficulties during submission or if you require
further information,
please contact: isca from ipass.net.
Authors wishing to have their papers reviewed for possible publication
in the ISCA
Journal of Computers and Applications should send by postal mail or
email expanded
versions of their papers directly to the Editor, Prof. David Jeff
Jackson.
